Environmental Science

Microbes

To the right is a picture of an agar plate that I made in environmental sciences as a part of a project. earlier we made predictions on what microbes were growing on the surface that we swabbed (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AzGCt4hcmUP6L-JObRK2plZ7zVzt022V3mi8-dlm2_U/view). The surface that I swabbed was my watch band and predicted that the microbes Staphylococcus Epidermidis, Staphylococcus Hominis, and Micrococcus Luteus. For the most part I was correct because I only identified the first and last microbes I listed. This is because I am finding that the microbes look like how I described it in my paper but not in the uniform lines that is commonly shown in Staphylococcus Hominis. Anyways it is a good guess that Staphylococcus Epidermidis is growing on the agar because it is one of the top five microbes that live on the skin according tohttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4184040/ and Micrococcus Luteus has also been known to grow on human skin according tohttps://microbewiki.kenyon.edu/index.php/Micrococcus.
